Perfect location to prepare for our cruise, that is, arriving early from overseas. Plenty to see on our rest day before the cruise.

5/5 - Excellent

Southampton reminds me of home. Reminds me of Iowa!!!

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Only drawback is number of flights in/out of local airport for international travelers.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

We just spent one night there since we were taking a cruise the next morning. Overall, Southampton seems like a lovely place, but we've only been there a couple of times to overnight before taking a cruise.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

Clean city and nice museum about the Titanic.

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

The Tudor House was excellent. I learned a lot about the Pilgrims from the waterfront monument and their free guide book. The Titanic route, ending with tea at the remains of the Southwest Hotel was interesting.
